Value Sets and its Types

 Value Set is nothing but the list of values with validation. We can use the value set whenever the concurrent program has parameters and while defining the flex field. We have to attach the value set to the concurrent program. When attaching or enforcing the value set on the segment, the segment will behave or act according to the Value Set. There are following eight types of value sets - 

1.None(Not validated at all) - You use the none type value set when you want to allow the users to enter the any value so long as that value meets the value set formatting rules.

2. Independent - An independent value set provides a predefined list of values for the segment. These value can have an associated description.

3. Dependent - A dependent value set is similar to an independent value set, except that the available values in the list and the meaning of the given value depend on which independent value was selected in a prior segment of the flexfield structure.

4.Table - A table–validated value set provides a predefined list of values like an independent set, but its values are stored in an application table. You define which table you want to use, along with a WHERE cause to limit the values you want to use for your set.

5.Special & 6. Pair - Special and pair value sets provide a mechanism to allow a "flexfield-within-a-flexfield". These value sets are primarily used for Standard Request Submission parameters. You do not generally use these value sets for normal flexfield segments.Special and Pair value sets use special validation routines you define. For example, you can define validation routines to provide another flexfield as a value set for a single segment or to provide a range flexfield as a value set for a pair of segments.

7. Translatable Independent - 
A Translatable Independent value set is similar to Independent value set in that it provides a predefined list of values for a segment. However, a translated value can be used.

8. Translatable Dependent - A Translatable Dependent value set is similar to Dependent value set in that the available values in the list and the meaning of a given value depend on which independent value was selected in a prior segment of the flexfield structure.
